Marlene - movie star, cabaret artiste, war hero – and gay icon extraordinaire!<?xml:namespace prefix = o />

In this entertaining show – presented as part of LGBT history month - Terry Sanderson looks at the many aspects of Dietrich’s complex personality. He will explore her legendary movie career using generous clips from her campest films then, accessing rare archive material, give a moving tribute to her phenomenal work as an anti-Nazi during WW11. The evening culminates with a complete performance, on the big screen, of her fabulous one-woman show, with which she toured the world.

Recorded in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Sweden in 1963, this is Dietrich at her peak, accompanied by Burt Bacharach and his orchestra. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a legendary performer in dazzling form.
